It depends on your views. Some people oppose the taxation system simply because they think everyone deserves to keep every penny of what they earned. The benefit system is taking money you haven't earned.
You'll find more people justify cheating tax than cheating the benefit system. It's like tv licensing in the other thread. People pay it but you get many who don't think that they should, and many don't. Most people don't kick up a fuss about them in the same way they do about benefit cheats though.
To be fair, I could justify a few people cheating both systems in a few circumstances, because I know a lot of statistics in this area from studying EU law, social policy and citizenship this year as part of my degree. It is the same with immigration, I could justify some and not others. And it is all very subjective.
